How to Make a Mocha Macchiato with Malted Milk Head in the Comfort of Your Microwave
London Barista Rob Dunne makes the most delicious coffee shop drinks look ridiculously simple to make in a home kitchen. For anyone who thought a Mocha Machiiato with a malted milk head would be filed under ‘do not attempt without barista present,’ Dunne nails it in a two-minute video.
For the base, he begins by making a ganache using double cream from hazelnut milk. Bringing to a gentle simmer, he adds Venezuelan chocolate and El Salvadorian dark chocolate. A double espresso is then mixed into the chocolate ganache. Dunne adds the mix to a glass and stirs it together with a Mikado King Choco.
For the head, a Jersey milk is used for its sweet and fat content. The milk is heated, via microwave, and mixed with a malted powder in a french press. Once it’s thick, the maciatto is topped with the malted milk and garnished with the Mikado King Choco.
Any caffeine enthusiasts comfortable enough to step out of their K-Cup routine definitely needs to give this a try.
